Re: Gun safes????
There are almost no gun safes with a UL fire rating. Because none of the stuff on the market will pass a test.
And certainly none of the one or two gun safes that have a UL fire rating also have a UL RSC rating. Because the one or two that exist are real safes with TL ratings.
Of course, there are many UL listed fire safes that are not burglary/TL rated at all, but I don't think any of them are sold as "gun safes."
There are no UL fire rated safes with UL RSC or higher tamper/burglary protection in your price range. In your price range you get a fire safe or a gun safe (RSC.) Not both. Further, adding a couple grand to your price changes nothing.
I still paid for fire protection for one of mine but what it will actually do is a matter of opinion. Or luck.

I pay about 10 dollars a month to insure my firearms from flood, fire, and theft (it's a $10,000 dollar policy). Something to think about if the safe you find within your price range doesn't meet all of your needs.

Re: Gun safes????
I bought a safe from BassPro. It's far from the best safe but it's 100% better than what I had, which was nothing. It's 1200 degree for 20 minutes. It's good enough for me. I wanted something good enough to prevent a common house burglar from getting into. But a professional thief could probably defeat it.
I bought a door hanger with a pouch in the bottom lined with heat resistant material for important papers, ect. fro Liberty Safes.

Re: Gun safes????
After taking into account what ungawa said I think this will be the route most likely takes. At Cabela's today their safes are Liberty brand and I liked them but was looking for more fire protection; the fact of it is that I'm looking for something to secure my guns from theft more than fire...
